The Red Queen: How Lady Margaret Beaufort Survived a Child Marriage to Create the Tudor Bloodline

Описание: History remembers her as the cold, pious "Red Queen" who birthed the Tudor Dynasty. But the real story of Lady Margaret Beaufort begins not in a throne room, but in a blood-soaked birthing chamber in a cold Welsh castle.

At just one year old, she was a political pawn. At twelve, she was a bride. At thirteen—an age we now consider childhood—she was a widow undergoing a traumatic labor that would permanently scar her body and change the course of English history forever.

In this "Truthish" deep dive, we strip away the myth of the "Kingmother" to look at the girl behind the crown. We explore the biological reality of a 13-year-old giving birth to a King, the calculated moves she made to survive the Wars of the Roses, and how her early trauma fueled a lifelong obsession with power, piety, and the survival of her only son, Henry VII.

Inside this episode:

The Toddler Bride: Why Margaret was "married" before she could even walk.

The 1457 Miracle: The harrowing details of Henry Tudor’s birth at Pembroke Castle.

The Survivor’s Strategy: How a teenage widow outmaneuvered Kings, Dukes, and Killers.

The Legacy of Loss: Why Margaret never had another child and how that shaped the Tudor court.
